Action Taken

The firm then issued letters to their distributors on June 4, 2008 explaining the problem and requesting return of the product from their inventory and from their consignees. The letter included a "fax back" response page to ensure the receipt of the notice. The hospitals were notified of the recall also on June 4, 2008 by means of letters, delivered via Fed Ex, addressed to Hospital Administrators, Risk Managers, and Orthopaedic Department Managers.
